Talk to Your Doctor

1. Prepare for Your Visit

In order for you to get the most appropriate treatment for your condition, it is helpful to give your general physician or dermatologist the most reliable information possible. It is also important for you to understand your condition and to know what to expect from the treatment you will get. Below, you will find suggestions about the information you should gather, as well as a list of important questions to ask your health care professional. Don’t forget that you must first get a referral from a general physician if you want to consult with a dermatologist.
